RESOLUTION NO ..3207
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
SUPPORTING THE GREATER LOS ANGELES
SAFETY COUNCIL'S PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, the Christmas season marks that time of year in
which we celebrate a holiday dedicated to "Peace on Earth and Good
Will Toward Men"; and,
WHEREAS, the prevailing spirit of Yuletide fellowship is
often marred by the irony of our citizens going out on the publiC
highways to injure or destroy their fellow men in senseless traffic
accidents, thereby turning a time of joy and happiness into one of
, heart-break and despair; and,
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Safety Council reminds
us that more fatal traffic accidents, including more pedestrian
deaths, happen each Christmas Eve than at any other comparable time
of the year, with darkness, speed, alcohol and pedestrian errors the
causes of the high toll; and,
WHEREAS, this year many persons will have a three-day
holiday both at Christmas and New Year's, the Safety Council fears
the season's highway toll may reach an all-time high unless drivers
and pedestrians take extra precaution; and,
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Safety Council is asking
all organizations to eliminate the serving of alcoholic beverages at
traditional office Christmas parties as a practical attempt to
eliminate a definite source of death and destru'!.ti9;l1:on the highway;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL or:::~~~:7Y OF ARCADIA,
